How is the splitting of file invoked in Hadoop framework?..

Answer / Gautam Kishor

In Hadoop, files are split into manageable chunks, known as blocks or splits. The InputFormat class determines how the data is split based on specific rules such as line-based, record-based, or byte-range splitting. The size of each split can be configured using properties like 'mapred.input.filesplit.size'. Once the file is split, the mapper processes each split in parallel.
